    Ok I have generated a form, it has it's own URL. Is it possible to insert this form into one of my webpages, lets say contact us page?

        Your form that is generated is nothing more than an html page.  There are some Java Scripts as well but everything can be copied or moved to any other html page.  The only exception is that any one page can have only one set of <html></html>, <head></head> and <body></body> tags. 
        If you are familiar with html then you know that the Java Scripts can either be embedded as they are, or pushed into a separate file.  Anyway getting your form into another page is a pretty simple proceedure.  Once again, without seeing your code and knowing exactly what you want to achieve, there is no way for me to give you specific instructions.

      Ok, I want to generate an order form and then insert it into my webpage. Where do I start. I have created my webpage in Dreamweaver.
      Do I have to download folder with the generated form?
      After I download, what do I do now? What part of html code do I use?

        As I said before "it is impossible for me to give you detailed instructions".  In general your form expects the process.php file to be located in the same folder as the form.  If you are using a file based db them the process.php file expects to see a "files" sub folder from the folder where the form is located. 
        If you incorporate the form into another web page you need to make sure these relationships are preserved.

        once u finished creating ur form and it does meet all the requirement u wish ur user to inpurt or u wanna collect from them of course u can put it on ur homepage, if is a contact form or an order form or a review form.

        What u need to to know is

        MySQL
        PHP
        HTML

        If you know those three as i listed u won't have any problem
        i assume u have no idea about those as i listed

        Download ur form
        make sure u go to form folder and cut that long path like this

        myform/orderform.html

        first test ur form if it does work and it does write to file or to a mysql database table or not. if nothing works then u have to configure things by ur hands like create a file called configue.inc if u wish to store ur order in a database

        u need to enter db server username
                        db server password
                        db name
                        tbl name
        and dont forget to set ur email settings if u wish to get a copy of ur order mailed to ur inbox folder. so u need to set up email option before downloading ur form. or after u downloaded configure
        it by hands.

        once u created ur configuration file
        then ur form knows wot to do

        user comes to ur website and see registration form or order form they open it and select their chosen products and they click submit, it will depend on how u will set up ur form mean u wanna
        the order to be written in a file, or to be stored in a table in a mysql database or just sent to you via email, that is upto you
        how u want to recieve ur customer's input.

        if u set up to be written to a file it will be stored in a file under ur form directory.

        if u set up to be stored in a database or in a table u need to use
        phpmyadmin here their website http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/index.php for that to access ur mysql database and table and export the data in different format.

        Good luck

        You name it!
        You define the db name and the table name.  A single db can hold many unique tables.

    i am new to form generator but I've added my form to the web page by following these simple steps.  1. after you've uploaded the form to the web myfolder/form.html 2. right click on the page and view the source 3. copy the code for the form 3. past that code into your web page.  You have to be careful with background colors because it may change to color of the page.  but that's easy!
